How to Replace Hard-to-Find Filtration Parts Without a Part Number

Western Separations™ Resource Series

When a critical filtration component fails and you don’t have a part number, it can feel like a dead end. No catalog match. No vendor reference. No quick fix. But if you’ve got a drawing, a sample, or even just dimensions, you’re not stuck—you’re ready to move forward.

At Western Separations™, we specialize in helping engineers, maintenance teams, and buyers replace and replicate filtration and separation components—even when the original supplier is long gone.

1. Start with What You Have

You don’t need a part number—you just need something to go on. That can include:

  • A physical sample (even if damaged or worn)

  • A CAD drawing or basic sketch

  • Measurements and photos

  • Knowledge of where and how it was used

  • Thread types, tolerances, and media specs (if known)

Our team works with you to reverse-engineer or verify exactly what’s needed, without requiring full documentation.

2. What We Can Duplicate or Build to Spec

We routinely recreate and engineer parts like:

  • Stainless steel filter housings and caps

  • Perforated and slotted tubes

  • Wedge wire elements

  • Gaskets, seals, and support cores

  • Instrumentation filter components

  • Nozzles, diffusers, cones, and custom weldments

  • Obsolete OEM parts no longer supported

Whether it’s a single part or a short-run build, we can get you what you need—accurately and quickly.

3. Precision You Can Trust

We don’t guess. We engineer. Every component we deliver is:

  • Built to your exact specifications

  • Fabricated from stainless steel or performance-grade metals

  • Crafted for accuracy, cleanliness, and performance

  • Delivered with clear communication and fast turnaround

This isn’t about taking what’s close—it’s about getting exactly what works.

4. When Time Matters Most

Downtime is expensive. Delays cause disruption. Our process is built for responsiveness—we move fast without cutting corners. Whether you’re facing a shutdown, sourcing for legacy equipment, or racing against a compliance deadline, we can help.
